Very true. Without humility, you are fxcked because if you are not open for feedback you are not growing and forever you will be stuck in childhood. Eventually, reality is just going to chew you up.
Professor Vaknin is making a good analysis. I feel sorry for all narcissists.
There are some good comments on this vedio
Humility is missing in Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It is like they are imprisoned in their mind without access to a real heart.
"Narcissists can be intelligent but never wise "The absolute truth is that being wise requires true deep introspection, which is a big lack in NPDs
I read James Fallon's book "The Psychopath Inside: A Neuroscientist's Personal Journey Into the Dark Side of the Brain", he talked about how children should be diagnosed so that they don't grow up to be such bloodthirsty psychopaths that we learn about later on from the front pages of newspapers that end up in prisons. He also talked about how he thought psychopaths would be great for leadership positions. While reading the book, I felt overwhelmed by his grandiosity and felt that not all the things he said were the intentions he described.
I always had this idea in my head that people who want to go into politics should have MRI/PET scans of the brain to rule out those with personality disorders - as history has always shown that people who led various wars were people with personality disorders. Just like today, people with visual impairments shouldn't drive cars, as a form of protection against serious accidents. However, I hear other voices that it would be unethical.
As for Elon Musk (enfj), seeing how he treats his children as objects (even strange names like technological products), I don't hope he will treat other people better. His son's identity disorder didn't come out of nowhere but from the lack of parents who could take care of the child's emotions. Very sad. Living in Poland, we have a prime minister who in my opinion is a psychopath (also a la Ted Bundy 's facial expressions and an entp), so every country has some cross to bear. Under the guise of moral things, he introduces his own laws. The same will happen with Elon. And he already did it with his son, saying that the WOKE ideology destroyed his son, instead of admitting to his own mistakes
It’s not going to end well with Elon and Trump. It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Unfortunately, there are 334 million passengers...
Human beings are great at creating illusions. And the sharper their intellect is, the bigger the illusions they create. When it comes to humanity, nothing ever is what it seems.
Alice Miller: You write: “My main point in the allegory is that by necessity none of us are passengers anymore. Everybody’s crew.” I agree with you. But to become aware of the fact that our obedience learned in childhood doesn’t allow us to think freely needs probably more than many hundred years. I am not sure if the tortured planet leaves us the necessary time to understand this fact, to protest against it, and to become a conscious, responsible member of the crew."
No one can ever accuse me of being an obedient child! Thank goodness I had the courage to rebel against the system from a young age.
